Seller's Description:
Used-Very Good. Cubism has long been recognized as a defining movement in 20th-century art. This book, published to accompany a landmark exhibition at The Costume Institute of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, shows for the first time the interrelationship between fashion and Cubism in the early 20th century. Paintings by Picasso, Braque, Delaunay, and Leger are shown along with exquisite designs by Chanel, Vionnet, and Callot Soeurs, demonstrating how fashion's newly planar forms and cylindrical, waistless silhouette exemplified Cubism's interpretation of the body. Early 20th-century fashion illustration and photography, too, followed the precepts of Cubist imagery, with its indeterminate space, cylinders, cones, and rotation. Fashion historian Richard Martin traces Cubism's continuing synergy with fashion through the present day. Superb illustrations, including numerous details, show how designers have found inspiration in the vivid, revolutionary masterpieces of Cubist art.
